Perfect Example....NOT!

So my friend Emily explained to me that I was doing the 30 Day Blog Challenge totally wrong! Wow.......I'm smart. Haha. Instead of just writing about whatever I want. There are certain things to write on certain days. So here is the very beginning of my 30 day challenge...take 2.

Introduce Yourself.

My name is Lauren Ashley Skelton. My maiden name is Loftis. I recently was married in June of this year and I have a wonderful husband, Alex. We have been together for over 5 years now, married for almost 6 months!

I am a 4th grade teacher at West Lane Elementary in Jackson, MO. This is my first year teaching and I just graduated college from SEMO in May 2010.

I have a passion for kids and many different kinds of hobbies. My hobby I enjoy the most is curling up reading a book! Other hobbies include: exercising, watching movies, listening to music, shopping, hanging out with friends and family, blogging, and of course cooking and eating.
